Being a goalie at any level of hockey is a game of inches, but Predators prospect Magnus Hellberg had to make an adjustment of feet in his first season playing in North America.

Hellberg spent last year with the Milwaukee Admirals, Nashville's American Hockey League affiliate. International rinks, like the ones Hellberg grew up playing on in Sweden, are almost 13½ feet wider than those in North America, which can create a number of problems for a goaltender making the switch.
